Good afternoon everyone! It’s a late day post today, as I’m FRANTICALLY trying to get stuff done before I fly out tomorrow. I will be in Lexington, KY for PhotoPro Summer School with the amazing David Ziser, talented Kevin Ames & local phenomenon Lynn Michelle. Looking forward to taking the stage with the folks I admire, and sharing some cool Lightroom & Photoshop tips with PPA members.

After this weekend, it’s off to Kansas City, MO for the D2W conference. I’ve already listed the Top Five Reasons you should be there, and I can only imagine the antics that will ensue on that trip.

Today’s quick tip is how to manage metadata in Photoshop PSD files. A useful item for tracking the changes you’ve made to project files over time. Check it out!

Lightroom (LR) enthusiasts marvel at its ability to streamline our digital image workflow. However, working with a Lightroom catalog (its database) can be a task when it comes to syncing metadata changes to outside applications. During last Friday’s Lightroom workshop an attendee mentioned a bug in the 2.3 release of Lightroom. Upon reviewing the link to the Adobe forums that Tom sent me, I realized the issue was not a bug, but an unfortunate misunderstanding of how Lightroom handles metadata. Here are the steps for manually or automatically syncing metadata info between a Lightroom catalog and individual image files.
